Your P.O.V.
Walking down the halls of the school with people gaping at me was already a normal thing and I'm pretty used to it.
What I was not used to, was hearing that there was a new student who captured all the attention away from me. Me and my friends walked towards the direction of where the students were gathered.
"No one informed us that there would be a transferee." I told Youngeun while keeping my eyes ahead.
"They probably don't know too." she replied.
While we were getting closer, squeals were getting more audible and I could see the admiration in the students' eyes while looking at someone.
In order to see who it was, we pushed our way through the crowd, not minding if I stepped on someone's foot or something.
"Oh my God she's so pretty I think I would faint." I heard a girl say.
"We've got a new queen bee." I threw a glare at the boy who said that.
I immediately felt my stomach churn and my blood boil while hearing them compliment the new student.
"Out of my way." I growled and pushed the remaining people who were blocking the new girl.
As soon as I saw her, she was smiling from ear to ear and was talking with two other girls who I knew. I clenched my fists as I get irritated by the way she reacts when other people compliment her.
"Look who's here." I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at her.
When she turned to look at me, her smile immediately faded. I mentally smirked knowing that she's aware of who I am.
"You're new and yet you're already getting all the attention away from me, huh. Nice try, but I bet you won't even last long here." I scoffed.
It was quiet in the hall and I wasn't planning on backing down from the glaring contest that I was having with this girl.
"What do you want?" she gritted out.
Myah's P.O.V.
She snickered and walked closer to me, leaving a few feet distance between us.
She thinks she's intimidating? Tch, I could only laugh at our height difference.
"I want you. Out of here." she growled.
"Really? I'd like to hear you squeak first, little mouse." I chuckled as I towered over her.
Some students snorted while she looked taken aback, her fists clenching beside her.
"You bi--" she was cut off when the bell rang, indicating the start of classes.
Before walking away, we both exchanged glares.
"What was that?" my new friend, Ruan asked me.
"I don't know. What the hell is her problem, acting like she owns the school." I scoffed.
"Practically, all students used to treat her as the queen or something. Until now..." Hiyyih explained.
"So she's jealous that I'm taking away all the attention from her. Classic." I laughed before we went in the room.
It sucks to have someone against you on the very first day of the school. But the feeling wasn't one-sided. The moment I saw her, my mood immediately went bad.
Mostly because she had this aura that feels like she's the popular bad girl of this school. But another is because I hate those kind of people. And she reminded me of someone like her.
Your P.O.V.
"I hate that woman." I mumbled.
"Chill dude. She didn't even do anything wrong to you." Dayeon chuckled.
"I hate that smile on her face. She steals all those attention away from me." I muttered and grumpily took a bite of my food.
I was watching as the students were going near her table and she was all smiley and giggly. Ugh, how irritating.
"By the way, her name's Mya--"
"I couldn't care less." I cut Suyeon off.
I took the last bite of my food and angrily crumpled the wrapper. Before she came here, I used to be the one who people complimented all the time.
Students would always greet me first thing in the morning, and I would be the one reciving letters instead of--
I have an idea.
I gulped down my drink and hurriedly stood up.
"Hey, where are you going?" Youngeun asked me.
"I have a plan." I gave her a grin before turning to walk to the halls.
After hearing the bell ring for the dismissal, a smirk formed on my lips as I stood up and walked to my locker.
While I was fixing my things, a loud screech was suddenly heard from somewhere and I couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
"What was that?" Dayeon asked concerned.
"I don't know. Someone probably saw a ghost." I laughed.
Just as I closed the door of my locker, I almost jumped on my spot when someone grabbed my arms. I turned around to see who it was but not a second after seeing her, she pinned me against the locker.
"What the he--"
"You think placing some fake insects on my locker makes you superior?" she lowly stated.
"And what made you think that I was the one who did that?" I grinned.
"Who else?" her eyes were piercing through me but I didn't back down.
"Bold of you to assume that. You don't even know me." I mumbled.
"I know what you're like. And I know you're just jealous that all the attention are on me." she smirked.
Our faces were only inches apart and I was trying hard to stop myself from punching her face.
"You think you're cooler because you're taller than me?" I huffed.
"I didn't say anything." she shrugged.
I was getting more annoyed each second. This girl was trying my patience and once I run out of it, I swear she'll regret it.
I pushed her off of me and walked away, not forgetting to bump her shoulder on the way.
"Are you really going to fight each other?" Youngeun asked me as the rest of my friends caught up.
I didn't bother to reply and just stomped my way out of the school.
"Oh come on, she'll be staying here at school for a long time. You can't be bothered by her forever." Dayeon stated as she slumped an arm over my shoulder.
"Then I'll make her days here like hell." I snickered.
"What, you tired already?" Suyeon asked me.
"Of what?" I muttered.
"Fighting with Myah." she chuckled.
I gave her a glare and shook my head.
"I can fight her any time. I'm just bored at this school fair." I sighed.
Weeks had passed and that new girl still hasn't changed. Always smiling at the students, and still getting all the attention.
It sucks that even at class, she was getting the attention from the teachers. I used to be the top student but all of a sudden her rank was higher than mine. Annoying.
"Should we take a look around? We've been guarding our booth for a while now." Dayeon suggested.
The rest of us agreed so I stood up from my comfy chair and we walked around the campus, looking at different booths and decorations.
"Look, there's a visitor who's been the talk of the campus today." Youngeun pointed ahead so I looked at the direction.
Just like before, many students were gathered at one place. But I can clearly see who they were talking about.
"Let's see who it is." I mumbled and we walked closer.
Before I can utter a word, the girl looked at me and a grin made its way to her lips.
"So you're the famous Y/n." I raised my eyebrows at her statement.
She knows me?
"I know I'm famous but who are you?" I faked a smile at her.
"Oh, I just came to visit. If I'll like this place, I might stay." she said as she walked closer to us with some of her friends behind her.
"Tch, we've had enough of new students already. I can barely hold my puke just by seeing the new girl." I chuckled.
"A bad bitch, aren't ya. Well you can't do anything to kick me out." she flipped her hair and smirked.
"Like your thick makeup isn't enough to bring you out of here." I snorted.
Her eyes threw daggers at me but I just shrugged it off.
"You bi--"
"Only I can call her a bitch here." the visitor was about to slap me but someone stepped in, holding the hand away from me.
"Hey, get out of this. This is my own fight." I hissed at Myah.
"And what? I'll let her slap you before I can? Hell no." she gave me a glare before turning back to the visitor.
I scoffed and felt my blood boil more. She was stealing my opportunity to piss this stranger out of this school.
"So, you actually moved here. I thought you studied abroad already." I creased my forehead at what the visitor was saying to Myah.
"There's a lot you don't know about me, friend." she replied with venom.
The students around looked quite shocked at what they were seeing. Myah seemed to be more intense than the times when we would bicker. And I have to admit, I was surprised that behind her nice personality, she actually had one more enemy aside from me.
"You two cut it out. I don't want anyone interrupting my fi--"
"Shut up, little mouse." Myah cut me off without sparing me a glance.
"I don't want to--"
"I said shut up. Or do you want me to make you?" she snapped her head to me and spoke with a stern voice.
I raised my hands up in the air and just chuckle. This was quite a sight. A kind and sweet girl in front of many people, but a feisty woman in front of her enemies.
"What is happening here?" all heads turned to the person who spoke.
I widened my eyes when I saw the dean of the school, her arms crossed while giving us a suspicious look.
"Ms. Myah and Ms. Y/n, you two get detention for this."
I stomped my feet and grumpily sat down at the armchair.
"This is all your fault." I gritted out at her.
"Excuse me? You were in it too." she huffed and sat down at the only other chair in this room. Beside mine.
"Please move your chair away from me." I told her and she just did as I said.
I groaned in annoyance and laid my head at the table of the armchair. I was planning on just sleeping the remaining time of detention, but then I heard stifled sobs.
I knitted my eyebrows and perked my head up, looking at her direction. She was hiding her face on her hands.
"What the hell?" I sassed.
She gave no response to me, and instead continued to hide her face.
"You're crying just because of being in detention?!" I scoffed.
"Shut up! You don't know anything!" her words were muffled.
"What is your problem?" I questioned in annoyance.
"It's not any of your business!" she yelled again.
I just rolled my eyes and continued to sleep. But I couldn't even get some because her cries were distracting me.
"I can't sleep!" I complained at her.
She wasn't responding again, and her sobs were getting worse every second. I tilted my head in confusion and just stared at her.
"Hey. Are you dying?" I tried to mask this unfamiliar feeling in my chest.
She wasn't replying again so I stood up and walked to her. I poked her head but nothing happened. I reached out a hand and was about to poke her again, but her hand stopped me.
She finally looked up at me and I can see how her eyes were red and puffy.
"What's wrong?" I mentally slapped myself when I realized what I had asked.
What the hell is wrong with me all of a sudden?
"Go away. You just remind me of her." she threw my hand away which made me stumble back.
"Of who?" I growled.
"Of that girl earlier." she replied, averting her gaze away from me.
I grew more confused at her. Was there really something going on in between them?
"Oh please. Me and that gi-- I mean bitch are not in the same level in any way. Don't you ever compare me with a coloring book." I sarcastically laughed.
"You two are bad people." she sniffed.
I blinked my eyes repeatedly at her.
"Yeah I'm aware. But we're toootally different--"
"Yes, you two are totally different. She was my friend before she became a bad person. And you didn't even know me, yet you were already a bitch to me." she explained.
I almost cracked up at what I heard. But after sinking in her first statement, I gasped.
"Oohh, so you two have a history huh." I crossed my arms.
"Nothing. Just betrayal." she coldly stated.
I was slowly getting interested in their story, but then I realized that she still was my enemy. And why was I listening to her rants all of a sudden?!
"Anyway, I don't care. So just.... let me sleep and don't be a crybaby." I walked back to my seat and laid down the armchair again. Before I can drift off to sleep, I heard her mumble something.
"At least you told me not to cry anymore."
"This project will be a big part of your grade. So if you want to have a high score, you should do well in this." I perked my head at what the teacher said.
"There will be two main roles in this project. Of course, this roleplay should have props so I expect you all to participate." she added.
"Oh, I should take the main role." I whispered to Youngeun.
"Okay. Raise your hand if you want to take the first main role." I immediately raised my hand.
I looked around and almost dropped my jaw when I saw who my competitor was.
"Myah and Y/n. Our top two students." the whole class exchanged murmurs while I just glared at her.
"Ooh, I see you two are both competitive." Dayeon nudged me.
"You two stand up. Now, raise your hands if you vote for Myah." I could only scoff when almost all the students raised their hands.
Well, all except my loyal friends.
"Well then, we've got our first main role." they all clapped while I just huffed and sat down.
They continued assigning roles while I just played with my pen.
"Aren't you going to apply for another big role? You can take the second--"
"Take the second main role and be paired with her? No way." I chuckled.
"Okay. Whatever you want." Youngeun replied.
In the end, I had to be a props man. It was annoying. It ruined my image as one of the top students but it was better than being with that girl.
Myah's P.O.V.
I was busy practicing my lines at my chair, until I heard our props director yelling all of a sudden which caught my attention.
"We only have a few days left for the play and you only show up now?!" he shouted.
I stood up and looked at who he was talking to, and saw Y/n and her friends sitting on the floor.
"I was sick..." Suyeon mumbled.
"For a whole week?! Just tell me you weren't interested since you didn't get one of the leading roles!" he scolded.
Then all of a sudden, Y/n stood up and stood between Suyeon and the boy.
"She said she was sick, can't you understand words? You want me to speak in Spanish? Japanese?" her aura turned cold and her words were like poison.
"You think I care?" he retorted.
Gasps were heard around the room when Y/n grabbed the guy's collar angrily.
"My friend was very sick, you jerk. You want to experience the same thing? I can make you stay at the hospital for more than just a week." she grumbled.
I was just watching the scene from afar, but I felt deeply amazed. This side of her was totally new to me. And although I compared her attitude with my enemy before, she was indeed totally different.
She stood up for her friend, and it was something I wanted to see in someone. Something that I needed.
"Okay, chill. Just hurry up on working on the props." he raised his hands in the air and Y/n let go of him.
I froze on the spot when Y/n's eyes looked back at me. Her brows knitted together and I just then realized that the corners of my lips were perked up.
I was smiling. Fvck.
I immediately looked away and cleared my throat, re-reading the lines that I was practicing.
What the hell.
Your P.O.V.
"Dammit Y/n, I'm starting to think you're cheating." Youngeun pouted while I just laughed.
"How can I possibly cheat at a rock paper scissors game?" I giggled and shrugged my shoulders.
"You keep winning!" she whined.
I patted her head and offered her another round for consolation, but our play director suddenly called our attention.
"Okay guys, today is the day. We should do our best and--"
"Chaeyeon! I can't find him!" one of our classmates panted as we looked at her confusingly.
"Who?" our director asked.
"Our main lead. I texted him earlier but he still isn't replying." our classmates started panicking at what we heard.
"What do we do then? The play is starting in 30 minutes." our props director questioned.
"We need to have a substitute. How about the costume, is it here?" Chaeyeon asked.
The girl nodded her head in response. I just brushed off the issue and continued on fixing the props that I was assigned to.
"Y/n." I turned my head to look at who called me.
"Can you do me a favor?" Chaeyeon pleaded.
"What is it?" I asked.
"We have no one else to substitute, everyone else have their own roles and come to think of it, you applied for the main role before." I narrowed my eyes at what she was trying to imply.
Oh hell no.
"Nope. I've got props to work on." I faked a smile and walked away. But she held my arm.
"Please, Y/n? Remmeber, your grade can be greatly affected by this. What if you get to be ranked as top 1 again?" she explained.
"Chaeyeon, as tempting as it is, I don't want to take the main role. Thank you." I blankly replied and tried to walk away again.
"Your reputation is on the line!" I halted and turned to look back at her.
"If you take the main role, all the attention might go back to you, you know. Students will return to complimenting you all the time, just like before." she added.
I exhaled and dropped the box that I was holding. Then I walked closer and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Chaeyeon, if you want me to repeat my answer--"
"You will be the queen bee of this school again." she stated.
Ugh. As much as I hate it...
"Fvcking... I can't just memorize the lines in a snap!" I whined.
"You're Y/n! You're one of the top students! You're the best and I know you can do it!" she grabbed my shoulders and shook me with her words of encouragement.
I couldn't help but grin due to her statement. She's damn right I'm the best.
"So go out there, memorize the lines in a snap and wear the costume, then be the best student once again." she patted my shoulder and gently pushed me towards the dressing room.
After I changed my clothes, the door opened and the person who came in was none other than the other main role of this play.
"I heard you're taking the other main role." she crossed her arms and leaned on the wall after closing the door.
"Yes. And I'm going to beat you in this play." I flipped my hair and smirked.
I took the script that was in the table to memorize my lines, but just before I can start reading, I felt a presence near me. I turned around and saw her already a few feet away from me.
"Poor little mouse. You're not supposed to be beating me in this play, you idiot." she muttered.
Just because she's a bit taller than me, doesn't mean she can call me that.
I clenched my jaw at her words and took a step closer, glaring at her like there was no tomorrow.
"It's what I'm supposed to do." I grumbled.
"No. You're supposed to be my partner. Read the damn script." she smirked and walked away, leaving me hanging here.
As I scanned the script, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped at the scenes that I was supposed to play.
Fvcking hell...
"Don't worry mister, I'll take care of her." Myah held my waist and as much as I want to throw her on the ground right now, many students were watching and my grade was on the line.
"I trust you, daughter-in-law. Now, I shall go and leave you two alone." our classmate, who was playing as my father walked to the backstage and left me with this brat alone.
She then walked to be in front of me, holding both my hands and staring right into my eyes. Her smile was reaching her eyes and I swear I almost forgot we were acting.
"Darling, you heard my father right?" I faked a smile and giggled.
"Yes, darling. Now, since we're alone I've been wanting to do this since forever." she then reached out a hand and held my cheek, rubbing her thumb on my face.
Fvck. My insides were tingling and I am very confused if I was very angry, or irritated at her touch, or I don't know. I just wanted to explode right now.
My cheekbones were hurting already since I was smiling for quite a long time now. Her face was slowly leaning towards me and her eyes slowly drifted to my...
Shit it's this scene!
"Don't do it." I whispered to her while trying not to show that my lips were moving so the audience would not notice.
"Stop being stubborn, this is for our grade!" she whispered back.
"Don't fvcking do it!" my nerves felt like it was going to explode any moment now.
I tried to tilt my head sideways to go for a hug instead, but she held my face firmly and suddenly connected our lips together.
FUCKING HEEELLLLL
I flinched and tried to break the kiss, but the audince clapped and cheered, which meant that they were liking it.
Ugh, why did I even agree to this...
After a few seconds, I held her arm and signaled her that it was enough, but my breath hitched when she moved her lips against mine.
I was desperately and mentally screaming for help, but nothing came out. My body didn't move and my arms felt numb.
As the curtains slowly closed, she broke the kiss and looked into my eyes. Her hand was still holding my face, and I was very confused and angry at what I was feeling.
I wanted to slap her, or push her off of me. But my eyes unconsciously drifted to her lips, and my chest throbbed for a second there.
"Y/n, are you okay?" Youngeun waved a hand in front of me.
"What?" I replied.
"You've been staring off into space again." she claimed.
"Me? Oh I'm fine." I replied.
"You've been acting weird ever since the play." Suyeon thought as she held her chin.
"Riight. Tell us, Y/n. Everyone saw what happened." Dayeon wiggled her eyebrows at me.
I huffed and laughed at their claims.
"Come on guys, it's been weeks since that play and you still can't move on?" I defended.
"I think it's obvious that you're the one who can't move on here. You stopped fighting with her, and you've been spacing off all the time." Youngeun explained.
"W-what?! Are you crazy?!" I yelled.
"Sheesh, chill dude--"
"Y/n." I stopped walking when someone called my name.
"Hey, Myah." Dayeon waved at her, and the other two did the same.
"Y/n, we'll be outside if you need anything okay?" Suyeon said and before I can stop them, they ran away.
"What do you want? Say it quickly because people might think we're friends." I blankly told her.
"And? You want them to think that we're something else instead?" she grinned.
"I'm goi--"
"Okay, okay. Let's talk somewhere private." she grabbed my arm and pulled me to go somewhere.
As soon as we arrived at an empty room, she closed the door while I sat down at a table.
"Now what is it? I don't like wasting my time." I asked her.
Her eyes were avoiding mine and her feet was just tapping the floor.
"I said--"
"Back at the play we did..." she trailed off.
I narrowed my eyes at her, remembering the very scene that I wanted to burn at the back of my head.
"It made me think of a lot of things." she added.
"And? Why do you need to say it to me?" I scoffed.
"Because you need to hear it." she finally looked at me, which almost made me flinch.
"Look... I know we started off in the wrong way. But I want to make things right." she explained.
"What are you trying to say?" I asked.
"Even before the play, I started to have weird thoughts. And, I don't know where they came from. But it was all because of you." she looked down again and fiddled with her fingers.
I was slowly getting irritated but at the same time, I was listening. It was weird, but I wanted to know what she was trying to tell me. And maybe I was getting irritated because I was eager... Ugh what am I saying...
"Because of me?" I clarified.
"Yes. I know you're a bad--no, a tough person. And you may seem cold and rude but I know what you truly are. I can see it when you're with your friends." she claimed.
"Are you kidding with me?" I asked seriously.
If this is a joke, I--
"I want to be friends with you." she looked back at me, her eyes not daring to break contact with mine.
I couldn't help but to laugh. I mean, she does seem serious, but this was funny.
"I'm serious, Y/n." she sternly said.
"Oh really? Like you call me little mou--"
I was cut off when she went and closed the remaining space between us. Her lips were connected with mine and I felt numb once again.
I felt her hand cup my cheek and it was surprisingly warm. Not like the glare we first had on her first day here.
After a few seconds, she broke the kiss and looked into my eyes. It was like deja vu.
"If you don't want to be friends, then we can be something more instead." she smirked.
I felt heat creep up my face and it felt very weird. But very nice at the same time.
She seemed confident and smug, so I shouldn't back down, right?
"You've got the nerve to fall in love with your enemy, Myah." it was the first time that I called her by her name. And it made me feel something unfamiliar.
"Yes I do." she grinned.
"Why, you scared of falling in love, Y/n?" she asked, her grin growing bigger.
I then snickered, my hand moving to touch her chin.
"Try me."
